Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brunneria" data-source="post: 1412484" data-attributes="member: 41816">Yes.  Please still finger prick, especially before driving and when calculating your insulin.The Libre instructions are very clear that the Libre is not a substitute for a glucometer for these tests. Have a good read of the paperwork that comes with the Libre and you will see it all explained there.Personally, I find that each sensor is consistent, but that the consistency tends to run either higher or lower than my glucometer.  So one sensor might be 0.2-0.1 mmol/l higher than my prick tests, while another might run 0.3 lower...  I 'calibrate' each one against my glucometer and once I have the measure of it, I use prick tests very rarely for the life of the sensor - but then, I am not on insulin. Hope that helps.</blockquote>
